lntroduction
lntroduction
This chapter covers basic printer operation, such as using universal,
oversized, and transparency/label media cassettes, using the multi-
purpose tray, using media other than paper, using toner cartridges,
and replacing a toner cartridge.
Using Media Cassettes
Avoiding Unsuitable Media
Caution: Media with any of the following properties may cause media
jams and should not be used.
Paper
Paper adhered with static electricity
Too thick or too thin paper
Previously printed paper
Folded, creased, or torn paper
Damp or wet paper
Curled paper
Any specially coated paper not previously recommended

by QMS
Treated-surface colored paper
Heat-sensitive paper
Carbon paper
Paper with staples, clips, ribbon, or tape attached
Rough-surface paper, such as textured or fiberform paper
Layered or adhesive paper

Using Media
Cassettes
2-3 Everyday uperations
Rough envelopes or envelopes with clips
Self-adhering envelopes
Note: If acidic paper is used, characters may fade; in which case,
change to a neutral paper.
utber Hedia
Sheets adhered with static electricity
Label sheets with the backing sheet exposed
Any media that is affected by high fusing temperature

(311 F/155 C)
Preparing Paper
1 Take a stack of about 250 sheets (
ream).
Caution: Dont unwrap paper above the printer as this might

cause paper particles to fall into the printer.
2 Fan paper to separate it and to help prevent static buildup
that may cause double feeding.
Note: Do not fan transparencies.
3 Take off the top and bottom sheets.
Residual glue buildup on these sheets may cause media jams.
Using Media
Cassettes
Loading tbe Universal Media Cassette
1 Slide the media cassette
open.
2 Press the metal plate until it
latches.
3 Adjust the media guides.
Squeeze the guide clips, move
the guides to the edges of the
cassette, and release the
clips.
Using Media
Cassettes
4 Align the four corners of the
media stack, and insert it
under the fluke at the front-
right side, with the printing
side facing down.
The media stack will cover the
arrow embossed on the lower-
right corner of the media tray.
Do not load more sheets than the maximum specified.
Note: Make sure the top sheet is under the fluke.
Load letterhead and memo paper printing-side down with the top
of the media (the letterhead or memo information) toward the
back of the cassette.
5 Set both media guide clips.
Note: If a media guide clip
is pressed too tightly against
the media, it may cause a
media jam.
Check that the left media
guide clip is inserted into the
proper hole in the scale.
Note: Be sure the paper
corners are not bent upwards
by the guides.
Note: Automatic media-size detection cannot be assured if the
left guide clip is even slightly out of position. If this occurs, slide
the media guide clip momentarily to the left edge, then reposition
it according to the scale.

Using tbe
Multipurpose
1ray
Note: Oversized media, transparencies, or labels can also be fed
through the multipurpose tray.
Using tbe Multipurpose 1ray
Loading Media in tbe Multipurpose 1ray
To avoid media jams
Do not set different sizes of media in the multipurpose tray (MPT)

at the same time.
Do not add media to the tray before it empties.

The multipurpose tray feeds into the printer top sheet first.
5 Push the media cassette
firmly into the printer.
Using tbe
Multipurpose
1ray
Caution: To avoid damage, do not apply excessive force or place any
object heavier than paper on the multipurpose tray.
1 If necessary, pull down the
multipurpose tray.
2 When printing on larger
media sizes, pull out the
tray extender.
Otherwise, media may fall
out of the tray, or may not be
fed properly.
3 Raise the media guide on
the tray when not using
oversized media, and lower
it when using oversized
media.
If the media guide is lowered
when youre printing on regu-
lar-size media, the printing will
be offset from the proper posi-
tion.

Do not load more sheets than
the maximum (Max) specified.
6 When loading paper, be
careful to avoid any space
between the guides and the
stack, and avoid warping the
paper with excessive pres-
sure.
Make sure the stack
is straight.
Note: If media is loaded
improperly, the printing
position will be shifted,
causing incorrect printing.

Note: The toner is nontoxic. However, if you get any toner on your
hands or clothes, wash it off promptly with cool water.
Dont use a used/half empty toner cartridge; the gas gauge in the
control panel message window and in CrownView will not reset
properly.
To replace a toner cartridge
1 Open the printers
front cover.
If the empty toner cartridge
is the color showing, skip to
step 4.
If the toner cartridge you want
to replace is not the one show-
ing, go to step 2.
2 Press and release the anti-
rotation switch upward to
unlock the toner knob.
Note: Remember to release
the switch, or the toner
cartridges will rotate too far.

and ending a print job.
nigb-kesolution Printing
Your printer provides a print resolution for almost every application or
budget. The printer supports each of the following resolutions.
300x300 dpi Built into all magicolor 330 Print Systems, this resolution
has the fastest processing time for producing draft-quality
output. 300x300 dpi resolution is also required by some
printer emulations.
600x600 dpi The standard resolution in the magicolor 330 CX is the
standard resolution for business documents. 600x600 dpi
resolution provides excellent print quality for most
business applications, such as letters, proposals, and
presentations. With 600 dpi in both horizontal and vertical
directions, it also provides the best quality line drawings
for engineering applications.
1200x1200 dpi For improved halftone quality in graphics and images,
1200x1200 dpi resolution is available for all media sizes
on the magicolor 330 EX. The magicolor 330 CX is also
capable of producing 1200x1200 dpi resolution through
the installation of additional memory.

Note: If a certain resolution is chosen and the minimum amount of
memory is not installed in the printer, the file is printed using the next
lower resolution that can handle the job. For example, if you attempt
to print a 4-color image at 1200x1200 dpi resolution on legal media,
but the printer has only 64 MB of RAM instead of the required 112 MB
minimum, the file prints at 600x600 dpi.

nigb-uuty Printing
There is a optional high-duty fuser oil roller to support high-duty print-
ing. You may need the high-duty oil roller for the following:
To print a higher number of pages per day
For increased performance with high-capacity, continuous
printing
Note: The high-duty oil roller is rated at 20,000 pages with an
average duty cycle of 500 pages/day. If you print less that this, we
recommend that you use the standard oil roller.
Default 600 dpi or 1200 dpiyour printers default is the highest
resolution available for the amount of RAM installed in the
printer (see Minimum System Memory Requirements on
page 3-3 for more information).
Notes Whenever possible, set the print resolution through your
application. If the print resolution cant be set through the
application, you can set it through the configuration menu, the
printer driver, or QMS Document Option Commands (DOCs).
If you want the printer to use a lower default resolution when
you restore defaults, set this option to your choice (and make
any other necessary configuration settings), and then use the
Administration/Miscellaneous/Save Defaults menu to save
your custom defaults. See Working with Custom
Configurations in chapter 4, Printer Configuration, of the
Reference for more information.
In addition, after you lower the default resolution, you should
reconfigure the printer memory (Administration/Memory/Quick
Config menu) to distribute it better for that particular resolution.
For example, if you set the default resolution to 600 dpi when
your printer has enough memory to print at 1200 dpi, the frame
buffer remains configured for 1200 dpi, which means that
printer memory that could be better used somewhere else is
being wasted.
Cassette
Cbaining
The optional high-duty oil roller is the same size as the standard fuser
oil roller, so replacement follows the same steps. (Refer to chapter 5,
Printer Care, for illustrated instructions.)
1 Open the left-side fuser.
2 Remove and discard the old fuser oil roller.
Caution: Oil on this roller will come off on your skin if touched
directly. Shield this roller from dust and toner when removing or
inserting into the fusing unit.
3 Align the colored label on the fuser unit with the colored
label on the high-duty oil roller.
4 Lower it into the fuser unit until it clicks.
5 Close the fuser unit.
Cassette Cbaining
If you have an optional large-capacity input feeder, you may choose
to have the printer automatically draw media from another cassette
(inputbin) when the current cassette empties. This is called cassette
chaining, and it provides a total media input capacity of 1,150 sheets.
Note: Check the documentation to see if your application includes a
specific procedure for using a multicassette printer.
EnablingJuisabling Cassette Cbaining
There are four ways to enable/disable cassette chaining:
Use your application (check to see if your application supports
cassette chaining).
Select an alternate cassette for chaining in the QMS Level 2 Win-
dows printer driver.
On a network, use CrownAdmin to select the media cassettes
and/or the media source.
Collating

Collating uutput
You can print multiple copies of documents either as complete sets in
numeric order (collated) or as separate sheets. The following figure
shows collated and uncollated stacking for two copies of a four-
page file.
The main advantage of collation is convenience and the time savings
derived from not having to separate and sort individual copies of a
document. Each copy of the document exists as a whole.

EnablingJuisabling Collation
There are three ways to enable/disable collation:
Use your application. (Check the documentation to see if your
application includes a specific procedure for collating pages.)
Select collation in the printer driver.
On a network, use CrownAdmin to select collation.
Configure the printer through the configuration menu.
Using tbe Configuration Henu
working witb Cbunk Collation
For a multiple-copy document with collation On, there must be
enough Display List memory to hold the display list blocks for all
pages in the collation range. (For more information on Display List
blocks, see Display List in chapter 5, Additional Technical Informa-
tion, in the Reference manual.) If theres not enough memory, then
a collation boundary is forced after the last compiled page of the
collation range.
Cbunk Collation
This mechanism of introducing a forced boundaryor breaking a
document down into several smaller, more manageable setsis
known as chunk collation. For example, in the following illustration,
copies a and b of each set must be manually combined to create

one collated document. The order of printing is copy 1(a), copy 2(a),
copy 3(a), copy 4(a), copy 1(b), copy 2(b), copy 3(b), and copy 4(b).
Note: If chunk collation occurs, you may want to enable header and
trailer pages to help you determine the beginning and end of each
collated sequence.
lmproving Collation Performance
To avoid chunk collation, your printer must have sufficient memory to
store an entire document before printing begins. Of course, this
always depends on the size of your print job versus the amount of
available memory in your printer. The QMS magicolor 330 CX with 64
MB or more of memory can fully collate most print jobs.
To improve collation performance, which allows you to collate longer and
more complex print jobs on your printer, you can do one of the following:
Add more printer memory, which automatically increases the dis-
play list clients memory settings.
2-5ided
Printing
Take any memory not being used by other clients, and add it to
the Administration/Memory/K Mem Display memory setting.
Caution: Use this option only if youre familiar with adjusting
memory clients values. (Refer to chapter 4, Printer
Configuration, in the Reference manual for information.)
Incorrect use of this option could cause your system to operate
incorrectly.
If your printer has a hard disk, set the Administration/Memory/
Enable Disk Swap menu to On. This distributes any extra mem-
ory to all clients.
Collate through your application.
Note: Collating through your application is more time consuming
than collating through the printer. The application sends the
complete job the requested number of times rather than sending
it once and holding data in printer memory.
2-5ided Printing
While the QMS magicolor 330 doesnt have a duplexing option, you
can duplex print manually: Print on one side of the paper, wait, re-
insert the printed sheet(s) into the multipurpose tray (blank side up
and the top of the page to the back of the printer), and then print the
second side.
Note: The jam rate will increase with 2-sided printing.
For the best quality and longest machine life, we recommend that you
observe the following guidelines:
Feed the second side through the multipurpose tray.
Use 24-110 lb (90-220 g/m
2
) paper.
Print in full color mode only.
Printing on
5tandard and
Custom Media
5izes
Print no more than 50 pages/day (1,000 pages/month) when
using the standard fuser oil roller, and no more than 100 pages/
day (2,000 pages/month) with the high-duty fuser oil roller.
Note: Use of the high-duty fuser oil roller will reduce the chance
of fuser offset of high-coverage areas.
Limit coverage to 150% or less per face (cumulative percentage
of all four colors).
Wait between printing the front side and the back side.
Note: A rest period prior to printing the second side provides time
for the paper to absorb residual fuser oil and moisture and results
in improved paper feeding. The recommended length of this rest
period varies depending on the media type. Some media may
require a rest period of up to one hour for best print quality and
performance.

Your QMS magicolor 330 Print System features advanced color laser
technology that produces inexpensive and durable color prints at
300x300, 600x600, and 1200x1200 dpi on plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies.
Color Management and Control
Color management has always been a source of contention for
graphic designers and publishers who rely on precise color to portray
proofs and designs. These color experts want to predictably control
and fine tune output color to suit personal and client needs. On the
other hand, novice color users dont want to hassle with cumbersome
color control devices just to get color output that matches what they
see on their screen.
The QMS magicolor 330 Print System was designed with both sec-
tors in mindoffering a host of color screening, matching, and cali-
bration tools for both the beginner and professional color user.
qM5 q 1ecbnology
Color management does not mean all devices will match exactly. It
does ensure the closest possible color transformation. QMS QCOLOR
technology offers four methods for color matching across devices:

QMS QCOLOR technology takes the guesswork out of color reproduc-
tion by automatically optimizing color output. Now even a novice can
produce professional quality, colorized documents without the use of
sophisticated manual optimization techniques.
QMS QCOLOR is comprised primarily of these built-in and software-
supported color control features:

color matching)
Built-in color rendering dictionaries
Host-based ICC color matching profiles

To help you optimize color output, QMS developed QCOLOR, which
provides automatic or custom color control. QCOLOR dynamically
configures the QMS magicolor 330 for the best output quality based
on the contents of the document and the media on which it will
be printed. QCOLOR matching capabilities include automatic color
correction, CIE-based (Commission International de lclairage,
the International Commission on Illumination) color matching,
PANTONE Color simulation, ICM (Image Color Matching) 2.0,

1ecbnology
QMS QCOLOR automatic color correction accepts source (monitor)
and destination (printer or press) device profiles in the ICC format,
then uses these profiles to perform color space transformations.
The QMS magicolor 330 ships with built-in profiles for matching com-
mon RGB types, such as sRGB, Trinitron, Prepress, and Apple.
Press profiles such as SWOP, Eurocolor, InkJet Proofer, and Com-
mercial are also included for simulating press output. ICC-compliant
profiles for other monitors or output devices may be downloaded to
disk for custom color matching.
The following is a summary of QMS QCOLOR automatic color
correction features:
Ease of use across applications: With QMS QCOLOR, its as
easy to get great color from a PowerPoint presentation as it is
from a desktop publishing application, such as QuarkXPress.
QMS QCOLORs color matching methods are simple for both
novice and professional color users to navigate.
Single-button control: Whether accessing through the printer
driver, or from the printers front panel, QMS QCOLORs single-
button controls enable automatic correction of uncalibrated
RGB or CMYK color files.
Printer-resident CMS: Because QMS QCOLOR automatic
color correction is built into the printer, it works well in all
computing environments and with most design, publishing,
and office applications.
Industry-standard profiles: QCOLOR uses industry-
standard ICC profiles for compatibility with popular input
and output devices.
Supports host-based color management systems: Easily dis-
able QMS QCOLOR automatic color correction when using host-
based ColorSync or ICM color matching.

Refer to the CrownAdmin or printer drivers online help.
Color Matcbing witb Post5cript Level 2
Your printers PostScript Level 2 capabilities allow it to accept device-
independent CIE color specification directly (in addition to CMYK or
RGB color specifications). This means that if you have an application
that supports PostScript Level 2 printing (such as Adobe PhotoShop)
or if you use the QMS-developed driver for Windows or the
magicolor 330 PPD for Macintosh, your printer will perform color
matching automatically. These drivers work with the printer-resident
color rendering dictionaries to match colors.
The advantages of Level 2 color matching are that it is portable, it is
application- and printer-resident (theres nothing else to buy), and it is
performed at the printer level (so it doesnt tie up your host). However,
no on-screen preview of output is provided, and you are not warned if
a color is out of printers gamut (color range).
Built-in Color kendering uictionaries
For those who rely on the PostScript page description language for
CIE-based color space matching, the QMS magicolor 330 has three
built-in Color Rendering Dictionaries (CRDs)Business, Colori-
metric, and Photographic to product printer-calibrated images.
The Business CRD simulates colors found on the typical RGB com-
puter display and is intended for use with business graphics. This
CRD is best utilized when printing transparencies or documents
requiring a high level of color saturation.
qM5 qCuLuk
1ecbnology
4-7 Color Printing
The Colorimetric CRD can be used for very basic color matching
and one-to-one conversion of CIE color to CMYK color. For those col-
ors that cannot be produced on the printer, the closest color the
printer can produce is substituted.
The Photographic CRD is used for optimizing the quality of photo-
graphic images. Colors that are out of the printers gamut (color
range) are replaced with the closest color in gamut. When this substi-
tution is made, other specified colors, whether in the printers gamut
range or not, are adjusted equivalently so that the overall image
appearance and contrast is maintained. This technique is known as
gamut compression.
The default CRD is either the Business, Colorimetric, or Photo-
graphic. The printers default CRD can be changed through the Mac-
intosh and Windows drivers or, if your application requires you to use
a non-QMS driver, you can change the CRD at the printers control
panel (Administration/Emulations/PostScript/Color Rendering menu).
See chapter 4, Printer Configuration, of the Reference manual for
information on using the control panel.
nost-Based Color Matcbing
For creative professionals opting to use a host-based color manage-
ment system (CMS), QMS provides ICC printer profiles to define the
printers color space to the CMS. These profiles are compatible with
all standard color management systems, including Apple ColorSync
and Windows ICM.
A few well-known color management systems include Kodak CMS,

Color Matcbing 1ables

Another method of color matching supported by the QMS magicolor
330 via QMS QCOLOR technology is PANTONE.
PANTONE, a standard color system within the graphic arts and pre-
press industry, specifies hundreds of spot colors, each identified by a
unique number. Each PANTONE Color can be simulated on a printer
with the appropriate combination of process (CMYK) colors.
Within a supporting application, the desired PANTONE Color number
and the corresponding CMYK value are accessed from a look-up
table for the printer. QMS provides PANTONE Color look-up (or

matching) tables for supporting popular design and publishing
applications:
If a particular application does not support PANTONE
*
Colors, but
does allow process color specification, the CMYK values may be
entered directly. The QMS magicolor 330 ships with software on the
QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM to print a complete set of PANTONE
Charts with the appropriate CMYK values.
The advantages of using PANTONE as a color matching system
is it is very easy to use, is widely supported, and is great for spot
color. However, it is not as accurate as other methods of color match-
ing, cant be used for photographs, and is limited to specific applica-
tion software.
Color Calibration
Another area of color control of particular concern to designers,
publishers, and printers is color calibration. For these graphics
professionals, it is important to maintain consistent and stable toner
densities from day to day, and from one supply change to the next, to
ensure predictable color.
QMS offers two methods for color-calibrating the QMS magicolor 330:
Built-in automatic density control
Optional instrument-based calibration software
The QMS magicolor 330 performs automatic density control by moni-
toring toner density and automatically adjusting levels to maintain

original factory specifications. Automatic density adjustments are per-
formed periodically by the printer.
Instrument-based calibration provides more precise control over toner
density than the built-in automatic density control feature.
Owners of the QMS magicolor 330 can also purchase optional host-
based software, Southwest Softwares ColorEncore for magicolor
printers, that requires the use of a densitometer (not included) to per-
form calibration.
Once installed, users simply print a target page from the software
application and measure the page with the densitometer. The mea-
surement results are used by the software application to return the
QMS magicolor 330s primary toner densities to factory levels.
Colorific
Colorific is monitor calibration software that ships with the magicolor
330. This software, which is available for both Windows and Macin-
tosh operating systems, allows you to calibrate your monitor to a
standard monitor profile that is supported by the CMM built into the
magicolor 330. For best monitor to printer color matching, Colorific
software must be used to calibrate the monitor. Once the monitor is
calibrated, the printers built-in ICC color matching, when set to sRGB
source data, ensures that printed output matches the monitor. For
more information concerning the use of the Colorific software, refer to
the instructions that were provided on the QMS Utilities CD-ROM.
qM5 Colorueptb 5creening 1ecbnology
Line screening and halftones are factors that highly influence color
image rendering. In conventional printing, color images are com-
posed of tightly arranged dots (or halftones) that are spaced in a
regular pattern and appear solid to the eye. Tonal changes are made
by changing the size, or amplitude, of each dot. This technique is
known as Amplitude Modulation, or AM screening.
QMS QCOLOR provides a preset AM halftone setting, referred to as
QMS ColorDepth. ColorDepth is designed to eliminate rosette and
moir patterns, (or steps) in color gradations by increasing the total
Printer urivers
4-11 Color Printing
number of gray levels (color shades) available in the printer. It also
resolves many problems associated with traditional color screening.
QMS QCOLOR screening can provide the equivalent of approximately
120 shades per primary color at 600 dpifor a total of 1.7 million
colors. At 1200 dpi, ColorDepth provides approximately 200 shades
per primary color for contone-quality images.
Printer urivers
Printer drivers offer a convenient, graphical interface for selecting
document output attributes. QMS has developed its own series of
drivers, compatible with several major operating systems, that make
the full functionality of the QMS magicolor 330 available with a click of
a mouse.
QMS Level 2 PostScript driver for Windows 95/98
QMS Level 2 PostScript driver for Windows 3.1/95
QMS Level 2 PostScript driver for Windows NT 4.0
The QMS magicolor 330 also supports the following host operating
environments by providing a Level 2 PPD (PostScript Printer Descrip-
tion) file to use in conjunction with the PostScript driver supplied by
the operating system manufacturer:
Microsoft Windows 95/98

You will find that the magicolor 330 provides an array of robust color
matching options that allows the user to custom tailor a specific color
matching setup for his or her particular needs. Below is the list of
color matching options available for Macintosh.
ColorSync Color Matching
Printer-Resident ICC Color Matching
Printer urivers
Postscript Level 2 Color Matching
Since the magicolor 330 offers multiple color matching options,
remember that only one color management system can drive the
printer at a time. Please read the following sections thoroughly to
ensure that you understand how to activate and deactivate each one
of these color matching options.
Color5ync Color Hatcbing
ColorSync is host-based color matching software that is provided
by Apple. Current versions of the Macintosh system software install
and support the ColorSync color matching software. To determine if
you have this software installed on your Macintosh, check the
Control Panels folder in the Apple menu. If you need to install
ColorSync, locate your Macintosh System Software CD-ROM and run
the Installer.
To invoke ColorSync color matching you will need to perform the
following steps:
1 Make sure you've installed the magicolor 330 PPD and you
have the magicolor 330 ICC profiles installed correctly on
your Macintosh. If you have not, locate the QMS Software
Utilities CD-ROM that shipped with your printer and install
these first.
2 Prepare your document for color printing and access the
Print dialog box by selecting Print.. from the File menu. Once
you are in the main print dialog box, select Color Matching
from the General pop-up menu.
3 You will be presented with three pop-up menus once you are
in the Color Matching section. Listed below are the three
menus.

tion is not made, you will not activate ColorSync, even
though the software is installed on your Macintosh.
5 You will have multiple choices for the Intent: pop-up menu. If
you are unsure of what to choose, leave this at the default
setting, Auto Selection or refer back to the ColorSync docu-
mentation that was included with your Macintosh.
6 In the Printer Profile: pop-up menu, you will need to select
magicolor 330 from the list of printers. If you do not see the
magicolor 330 listed, then you do not have the ICC profiles
installed correctly. With System 8.1, the ICC profiles are
stored in the System Folder inside a folder titled, ColorSync
Profiles.
7 You must be sure to deactivate the magicolor 330's built-in
color matching if you intend to use ColorSync. As stated at
the beginning of this section, only one color management
system can be active at a time. Access Printer Specific from
the General pop-up menu in the print dialog box. Set ICC
Color Matching: to Disable.
QMS recommends using ColorSync since most of the popular graph-
ics applications on the market today support this method of color
matching, and ColorSync is recognized as the standard for color
matching on Macintosh computers.
Printer-kesident lCC Color Hatcbing
In addition to ColorSync, the magicolor 330 supports ICC color
matching that is built into and performed on the printer. Printer resi-
dent matching is faster than host-based color matching (ColorSync)
since the calculations for color matching take place on the printer and
not the Macintosh.
To invoke the printer resident color matching you will need to perform
the following steps:

Listed below are the steps for downloading a custom ICC profile to
the magicolor 330 printer. Your magicolor 330 must be an EX model
or a magicolor 330 that has an internal hard drive. You can not down-
load profiles to external hard drives.
1 After a custom ICC RGB Source or Simulation profile has
been created, rename the profile so it can be recognized by
the printer.
This renaming is done, so the PPD for Macintosh, Windows 95
PPD, and Windows NT driver can correctly identify the profile.
You must name your custom ICC RBG Source profile either
custrgb1.icc, custrgb2.icc, or custrgb3.icc. Listed below is an
example of some custom ICC RGB Source profiles and how they
would be renamed.
Note: If you do not rename your files correctly, the magicolor 330
PPDs can not select the custom profiles. However, you will still be
able to download the profiles and use them as a default setting
for the RGB Source and Simulation for ICC Color Matching.
2 Once you have renamed your custom ICC RGB Source or

lntroduction
This chapter describes how to handle and clean the printer.
Blurred or splotchy prints and paper jams can result from dusty printer
parts. Regular cleaning takes only a few minutes and helps ensure
print quality. Printer parts that require cleaning are the paper pickup
rollers and the outside surface of the printer.
nandling tbe Printer
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause
damage. Keep the following guidelines in mind:
Do not place anything on the top of the printer.
Avoid spraying cleaning solution directly on the printers surface;
the spray could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and
damage the internal circuits.
Do not use any cleaning solution other than synthetic detergent.
Be careful when cleaning the inside or removing paper jams, as
the fuser assembly and other internal parts become very hot.
Open the printer cover, and let the interior of the printer cool
before handling the inside of the printer.
Always close the printer covers gently. Never expose the printer
to vibrations.
If you use a dust cover over your printer, do not cover the printer
immediately after using it. Turn the printer off and wait until it
cools down.
Do not leave the printer open for any length of time, especially in
well-lit places; light may damage the OPC drum.
Do not open the printer during printing.
Do not tilt, lubricate, or disassemble the printer.
Cleaning tbe
Printer
5-3 Printer Care
Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser beam
devices. Doing so may damage the printer and cause the print
quality to deteriorate.
Keep media in the output trays at minimum level. If the media
stacks too high, your printer may experience media jams and
excessive media curl.
Lift the printer from the bottom only, using the carrying grips
under each side corner. Make sure four people are available to lift
the printer when moving it.
Keep the following in mind when storing the printer for an
extended period:
Unplug the printer.
Remove the toner and OPC drums from inside the printer.
After removing the cartridges, return them to their original
packaging. If the original packaging is not available, protect
the toner cartridges from spilling toner, and protect the OPC
drum cartridge from damage and light.
See appendix B, Technical Specifications, in the Reference
manual for storage specifications.
Cleaning tbe Printer
Paper dust may accumulate inside the printer. This could affect the
printers performance. To prevent any potential problems associated
with this, you should clean your printer on a regular basis. You need
to clean both the inside and outside of the printer.
WARNING! Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect all interface cables before cleaning.
ACHTUNG! Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker aus der Steckdose bevor

Cleaning tbe uPC urum Cartridge
Caution: Never touch the surface (blue part) of the drum.
Never hit or rub the drum surface: if the OPC drum is scratched,
printing will be degraded.
The OPC drum is extremely sensitive to touch. Any body oil left on the
surface of the drum will prevent toner from adhering to the drum
which results in poor image quality. Any scratches will show in the
image produced.
The OPC drum is also extremely sensitive to bright light and direct
sunlight. Always leave it in its protective bag until you are ready to
install it. Any exposure to light should be limited to two minutes.
If you suspect the drum is damaged due to exposure to light, put the
drum in a dark place to recover. Depending on the amount of expo-
sure, recovery may take up to two hours. Recovery time is dependent
on the amount of exposure sustained. However, recovery is not
guaranteed.
2 Open the printers front cover,
and release the two OPC drum
lock levers to the Unlock
position.

WARNING! Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect all interface cables before cleaning. Do not spill water or
detergent into the printer; otherwise the printer will be damaged and
an electric shock may occur.
ACHTUNG! Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker aus der Steckdose bevor

careful to prevent the drum
surface (the blue part) from
touching other parts.
9 Secure the two levers in the
Lock position.
Caution: Secure the smaller
lever on top first, or they wont
lock correctly.
10 Close the printers front cover.
Cleaning tbe
Printer
To protect your printer and maintain its appearance, clean the
exterior regularly.
Use only a dry or slightly damp, lint-free, soft cloth moistened only
with water or mild synthetic detergent.
Caution: Never use cleaning solutions that contain solvents,
such as alcohol and benzene. Solvents may damage the printers
finish.
Always test any cleaning solution on a small area of your printer
to check the solution's performance.
Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic
cleaning pads.
Never spray a cleaning solution directly on the printer as the
cleaning solution will penetrate to the interior of the printer and
cause damage.

The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on printing
under specific operating conditions, such as media type, number of
color planes, page size, and page coverage (usually 5% coverage of
letter/A4-size media). The actual life expectancy will vary depending
on these and other printing variables, including continuous or intermit-
tent printing, ambient temperature, and humidity.

Your printer uses a fuser oil roller to lubricate and wipe dust from the
fuser unit and to apply the proper amount of fuser oil. At the default
print density and with about 5% coverage, the fuser oil roller can be
used to print about 20,000 Letter/A4-sized pages (when printing an
average of 500 or fewer pages per day). For higher daily page rates,
see chapter 3, Advanced Printing Features, for information on a
high-duty fuser oil roller.

* A plane is a single pass of the OPC drum (one toner color). For example, a one-color
print job makes one pass (one plane), and a two-color print job makes two passes
(two planes).
** A single-sided page (also called a face) usually consists of four passes of the OPC
drum, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors.

lntroduction
QMS CrownView is a printer-based application using the World Wide
Web portion of the Internet as a framework for the QMS magicolor
330 Print System. This feature allows you to monitor printer consum-
ables as well as access information that is normally available only by
printing a status page.
Inside your new QMS printer resides an HTTP (Hyper-Text Transfer
Protocol) based web page that can be accessed from the most com-
mon web-browser software, Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Explorer. This web page gives you access to the most frequently
accessed printer configurations and gives you instant access to
printer status. Anyone on your company intranet can access the QMS
printer through their web-browser software.
Note: The sample windows and dialog boxes shown in this chapter
are as they appear in Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, and
coincide with the step-by-step instructions provided.

5etting up tbe
Printer web
Page
6-3 CrownView Printer web Page
Assigning a Printer Name
The printer web page can be accessed only through the assigned
name of the printer or the IP address. It is more convenient for you to
use a name than the address. The default name for the printer is usu-
ally the model number of the printer, for example, QMS magicolor 330
Print System. Change the default name to one that is more easily
remembered and typed.
5etting Up Your Browser 5oftware
Since your printer will reside on your intranet and will not be accessi-
ble beyond the firewall of your network, you must set up the proper
preferences in your browser software. Your printer name or IP
address must be added to the no proxy list in the preferences dialog
box of the browser.
Note: You need to do this procedure only once.

lntroduction
lntroduction
This chapter explains automatic jam recovery, discusses how to pre-
vent media jams, and then provides detailed information on how to
find and remove media jams.
Automatic Jam kecovery
The QMS magicolor 330 Print System provides automatic jam recov-
ery (when enabled through the Administration/Engine/Page Recovery
menu). After you remove any jammed media, printing automatically
resumes from the page the printer stopped at when the jam occurred.
Note: For automatic jam recovery to work, it is necessary to leave the
printer turned on when you remove the jammed media. After the jam
is cleared, open and close the front cover before printing. Printing will
not resume until you do this.
Preventing Media Jams
There are several things you can do to reduce the occurrence of
media jams.
Make sure your printer is on a hard, flat, level surface.
Use paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies that match the
printer specifications.
Make sure the media is not folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
Do not overfill the media cassette. The cassette has a fill-limit
mark on the inside left side.
If you have problems with double feeding of paper, remove it from
the cassette and fan the sheets. They may be sticking together.
Note: Do not fan transparencies, since this causes static in them.
Understanding
tbe Media Patb
7-3 Media Jams
Store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.
Make sure youve loaded the media correct side up:
Cassette: printing side down.
Multipurpose tray: printing side up.
Many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to
indicate the printing side. If you cant determine which side of the
media to print on, remove the media from the cassette, rotate
the stack a half-turn, turn the stack over, and then place it back in
the printer.
Understanding tbe Media Patb
Understanding the printers media path will help you locate media jams.
The media cassette is located at the bottom front of the printer. The
media is picked from the cassette or multipurpose tray past the regis-
tration roller (possible jam area 1), passed under the transfer belt,
passed through the fuser (possible jam area 2), and delivered via the
media exit unit (possible jam area 3) to the output tray.

5tatus Messages
When a jam occurs, the printer icon on the control panel will light up
an amber LED to show the location of the jam. In addition, the
message window on the control panel displays an error message.
Frequent jams in any area indicate that area should be checked,
repaired, or cleaned. Repeated jams may also happen if youre using
the wrong weight print media.
1 Registration jams occur in the area near the standard cas-
sette, multipurpose tray, or optional large-capacity input
feeder. A registration jam may be as simple as a sheet of
media not being picked, or it may be that the media was
picked but not fed properly. When this type of jam occurs,
the message window displays PAPER JAM REGISTRATION.
2 Fuser jams occur in the fuser area. When this type of jam
occurs, the message window displays PAPER JAM FUSER.
3 Exit jams occur as the media nears one of the printers two
exit areas (top or side output bin). When this type of jam
occurs, the message window displays PAPER JAM EXIT.
kemoving Media Jams
To avoid damage to rollers, always remove jammed media gently.
Always try to remove jammed media without tearing it. Any pieces
of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct
the media path and cause further jams.
If, after clearing the media jam, the jam message in the control panel
window persists, open and close the printers cover. This should clear
the jam message.
If the automatic jam recovery is enabled (Administration/Engine/Page
Recovery menu), once the jammed media is removed and the printer

is operational, the printer should resume printing the job from the
page where the jam occurred.

1esting PC-Printer
Communication
1esting PC-Printer
Communication
To test communication between your printer and your PC, first create
a short file that ejects a page from the printer. Then send the file to
the printer.
Creating tbe 1est rile
To create the test file, type the following commands at the DOS
prompt:
copy con printest.ps
showpage
^D^Z
(All commands above except the DOS copy command are case sen-
sitive and must be typed exactly as shown.) Showpage is a Post-
Script command that prints a blank page. The symbol means to
press the Enter key. To produce the ^D and ^Z, press and hold down
the Ctrl key while you type the appropriate letters (d and z). These
characters signify the end of the file and must always be included.
5ending tbe 1est rile
Parallel Communication
1 To send the PRINTEST.PS file (you just created) to the
printer, type
copy /b printest.ps lpt#
where # is the port number (1 to 3).
Note: If the PC has more than one parallel port, they're probably
labeled. If not, check the PC documentation for the LPT port
names.
1esting PC-Printer
Communication
2 If the printer and PC are communicating, a blank page ejects
from the printer.
If a blank page doesnt eject and you typed the file correctly, you
may want to check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if LPT1 (the
parallel port) is being directed to COM1 (the serial port):
a If the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the line
MODE LPT1:=COM1:
delete it.
b Then type
MODE LPT1:,,P
The P represents infinite retry and it tells the PC to send
print jobs until the printer accepts them.
c Restart the PC and retry the communication test.
Refer to your DOS documentation for more information.
5erial Communication
1 To send the PRINTEST.PS file you just created to the
printer, type
copy /b printest.ps com#
where # is the port number (1 to 4).
Note: If the PC has more than one serial port, they're probably
labeled. If not, check the PCs documentation for the COM
port names.
2 If the printer and PC are communicating, a blank page ejects
from the printer.
If a blank page doesnt eject and you typed the file correctly, you
may want to check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in DOS to make
sure that the printer's serial port settings match those of the PC.
a Look for a command line like this in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P
1esting PC-Printer
Communication
In this example, the serial port settings are 9600 for baud
rate, N (no) parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. The P stands
for infinite retry.
Note: If the mode statement isnt in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, you may temporarily set these parameters at the DOS
prompt to continue this test by typing the mode statement as
shown above. To make this setting permanent, youll need to
add this statement to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
b Restart the PC, and then check the startup page, which prints
when you turn on the printer (unless you disabled it). This
tells you the current serial port settings for the printer.
c If the serial settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits)
shown on the startup page match those in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you need make no further changes. Go
to the section Special PC Concerns later in this chapter.
If the printers serial port settings are different from your PCs
settings, use the printer control panel, as described in the fol-
lowing section, Changing Serial Port Settings, to make
them match.
Cbanging 5erial Port 5ettings
Since your printer is configured at the factory for the most typical
printing environments, the serial settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
and on the start-up page should be the same. However, if they differ,
you must configure the printer to use the serial settings specified in
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Use the information in the following table.

Printer Problem Cbecklist
This section contains a list of possible printer problems and solutions.
If youve just installed your printer, be sure youve followed the steps
in chapter 2, Setting Up Your Printer, in the Getting Started manual.
If a problem occurs with the printer, determine the cause and remedy
according to the category of the problem, as follows:
Power problems
OPC drum problems
Control panel problems
Windows driver problems
CrownNet problems
Output problems
Kanji option kit problems
Print quality problems
Paper transport problems
Unusual sounds problems
If the symptom does not apply to one of the above categories, or
if the problem cannot be resolved by the prescribed procedure,
turn the printer off, unplug the power cord, and contact your vendor
for assistance.
Printer Problem
Cbecklist
WARNING! Before performing any troubleshooting, be sure to turn
the printer off and unplug it to prevent shock.
ACHTUNG! Bevor Sie im Gert nach Fehlern suchen, vergewissem
Sie sick, da der Drucker ausgeschaltet und aus der Steckdose
ausgesteckt ist.
If there is no status message in the control panel message window,
use the following steps to identify the source of your problem and to
learn of possible solutions:
1 Does the printer power light come on?
YESGo to question 2.
NOCheck the following:
Is power supplied to the AC outlet?
Is the power cord plugged securely into both the power
outlet and the printer? Turn the power switch off, and
plug in the power cord connection firmly; then turn the
power switch on.
Note: In compliance with UL guidelines, The appliance inlet
is considered to be the main disconnect device.
Is the printer power switch in the On position ( I )?
Is the power outlet working?
Does the line AC voltage from the power outlet match the
printers power requirements? See appendix B, Techni-
cal Specifications, in the Reference manual.
Printer Problem
Cbecklist
2 Is the power frequently interrupted?
Is your power being interrupted from an outside source?
Turn the printer off, disconnect the power cord from the
outlet, and contact your utility supplier.
Do you think it might be caused by a defective printer?
Turn the printer off, disconnect the power cord from the
outlet, and contact your vendor.
3 Can you print a status page?
Is the printer off line before you try to enter the Adminis-
tration/Special Pages/Print Status menu? It should be.
Does the cassette have paper? If it is out of paper,
the PAPER OUT message displays and the Error
indicator lights.
Are all the printer covers closed securely?
Is there a media jam? If a paper jam message displays
and the Error indicator lights, go to one of the following
sections in this chapter on clearing a media jam.
4 Is the printer receiving data from the computer?
If the Data indicator blinks after a file is sent, the printer is receiv-
ing the data. If not, check the following:
Is the printer on line? The online indicator should be on
and the message window should display IDLE.
Has the emulation been changed from ESP to an
emulation that doesnt match the file you are
sending. See chapter 4, Printer Configuration,
in the Reference manual.
uPC urum
Problems
Print a status page from the control panel. If you are
using the serial interface, is the baud rate (speed of data
transmission) of the printer, the computer, and your soft-
ware application the same? See chapter 4, Printer Con-
figuration, in the Reference manual.
If you still cannot identify the problem, contact
your vendor.
5 Is the printer printing codes or not printing at all when in
ESP mode?
Reconfigure the port to the specific printer emulation of
the file you are trying to print. See chapter 4, Printer
Configuration, in the Reference manual for instructions.
If a PostScript file prints PostScript statements while the
printer is in ESP mode, increase the ESP timeout. See
chapter 4, Printer Configuration, in the Reference man-
ual for instructions.
If you continue to have problems with the ESP mode
selecting the appropriate printer emulation, contact
your vendor.
uPC urum Problems
The OPC drum is extremely sensitive to bright light and direct sun-
light. Always leave it in its protective bag until you are ready to install
it. Any exposure to light should be limited to two minutes. If you sus-
pect the belt is damaged due to exposure to light, put the drum in a
dark place to recover. Depending on the amount of exposure, recov-
ery may take up to two hours. Recovery time is dependent on the
amount of exposure sustained, and recovery is not guaranteed.
Control Panel
Problems
Control Panel Problems
uata lndicator 5tays Lit
If the printer has warmed up and the Data indicator stays on, two
problems may exist. If you are downloading additional typefaces, too
many can overload the printers memory, causing the printer to reset
and lose information previously downloaded to RAM. Make sure you
have enough printer memory.
On a LocalTalk network, Macintosh computers sometimes interfere
with each other. If this happens often, reinstall the LaserWriter and
Laser Prep files, which reset the printer. If neither of these is the prob-
lem, place a service call to your vendor.
No Advanced 5tatus Page
If your printer prints a standard status page even though youve con-
figured the printer in the Administration/Special Pages/Status Page
Type menu to print an advanced status page, your printer probably
doesnt have enough free memory available. To print an advanced
status page you may need to reduce the amount of memory assigned
to one or more of the memory clients or add more memory (see the
Memory section in chapter 5, Additional Technical Information, in
the Reference manual for information about memory clients).
No 5tartup Page
If the Ready indicator is on, but no startup page prints, check the fol-
lowing:
1 Has the startup page been disabled?
Use the control panel to make sure the startup page is enabled.
2 Did you wait long enough? From a cold start, the printer
takes approximately 3 minutes to warm up.
Be sure you wait long enough for a startup page before suspect-
ing a problem.
Control Panel
Problems
3 Check that the paper cassettes are loaded with paper, in
place and secure.
4 Check for a media jam.
5 Make sure a toner cartridge is installed.
If you still have not solved the problem, you need to call your vendor
for help. See Placing a Service Call on page 8-44 for information on
how to contact your vendor.
Paper Jam Message 5tays un
If a PAPER JAM message stays on, open the printer and clear the
jam. If the message is still there, try opening and closing the top
of the printer again. See the preceding section on clearing media
jams for more information. Make sure your printer is on a hard, flat,
level surface.
Printer kesets
Occasionally, Macintosh applications interfere with each other. Appli-
cations send a printer prep file to the printer at the beginning of each
document. Other prep files cannot be sent without resetting the
printer. Monitor your activities to see if there is a correlation between
your use of a certain application and the printer resetting. If so, con-
tact the application developer.
Downloading too many typefaces can overload the printer memory
and cause the printer to reset to default. Additional memory (RAM),
which can be used for font storage, is available and easily installed.
Contact your vendor for information on RAM upgrades.
If the printer resets in other circumstances, you should call your ven-
dor for service.
Post5cript Errors
If your printer is having trouble printing when using PostScript emula-
tion, you should turn on the Error Handler in the control panel menu.

CrownNet Problems
If you have trouble installing and setting up your QMS CrownNet
interface, check the following:
If the printer requires a network interface card, is it correctly
installed in the printer?
Is the printer connected to the network?
Is the printer plugged in, turned on, and correctly configured?

12uu12uu dpi Printing Unavailable
The amount of RAM installed in your printer governs which reso-
lutions can be used with each media size. If you have a QMS
magicolor 330 Print System with
64 MB RAM, you can print at 600x600 dpi resolution on all
media sizes.
192 MB RAM, you can print at 1200x1200 dpi resolution on
all media sizes.
Check the startup page to make sure the printer has enough
RAM installed. See chapter 2, Memory and System Software, in
the Options manual for information on installing additional RAM.
If you have enough RAM installed, and you have configured the
printer from the control panel to print at 600x600 or 1200x1200
dpi resolution (Administration/Engine/Def Resolution menu) but
the printer continues printing at a lower resolution, you may need
additional memory allocated to the frame buffer.
To allocate the correct amount of memory, use the Memory/Quick
Config menu to choose the correct resolution and paper size for
your printing. See chapter 4, Printer Configuration, in the Refer-
ence manual for more information.

Blank Pages
If a blank startup page ejects or blank pages come out during a print-
ing job, try the following:
1 Check the toner cartridges.
The image does not print if the cartridges are empty.
2 If the toner cartridges are not empty and blank pages are
ejecting, take each cartridge out, rock it from side to side,
and reinstall it in the printer.
3 If these solutions do not work, contact your vendor to pur-
chase another toner cartridge.
Not All Pages Print
If the printer stops printing in the middle of your file, try the following:
1 Check your cable.
You could have the wrong kind of cable, or your printer may not
be configured for the correct cable and port.
2 Make sure no one pressed the Cancel key while your job was
printing.
3 Check the message window to see if the cassette you are
using is out of media.

Several sources of help and information are available, depending on
the type of help you need:
Your qM5 Vendor
Your local vendor (the one from whom you bought the printer) may be
best equipped to help you. Your vendor has specially trained service
technicians available to answer questions, and the equipment to ana-
lyze your printer problems.
Your Application Vendor
Often, printing problems have more to do with the application being
used than with the printer. In this case, the application manufacturer is
the best source of help.
q-rAX
Q-FAX, a QMS information retrieval service, provides application
notes, technical support notes on common printing problems, and
information about printer specifications, options, accessories, con-
sumables, and prices.
In the United States and Canada, call (800) 633-7213 to reach
Q-FAX. In all other countries, call (334) 633-3850. Have your fax num-
ber handy when you call (or place the call from your fax machine's
handset).
You can choose to have either a directory (a list of currently available
documents) or a specific document sent to you. The first time you call,
request the directory (press 2 on your phone or fax keypad when
prompted). Then call back to request specific documents. You can
order up to three documents per call.
